Chapter 135: Wild Fox Ridge
Yehuling, less than fifty miles away from the wolf's mouth, was originally a forest, and a fire burned it to white soil in the early years.
Nowadays, Wild Fox Ridge has become a barren and grassy land, with pheasants and rabbits from time to time. But the most of them are foxes.
Everywhere there were holes that had been dug by foxes, three or four feet shallow, bottomless deep, and a fluffy, delicate face popped up from time to time in the grass, that is, the fox.
On the Wild Fox Ridge, there are two or three adobe thatched huts, one old and one young.
The old fairy wind bones, but the young one is a childish girl.
They are grandfather and grandson, hunting for a living, occasionally people go up to the Wild Fox Ridge, but they ask the old man for medical advice, and they are also the main source of salt, food, wine and other daily necessities for the grandfather and grandson.
Both of them have no names and surnames, and they call themselves Mr. Wild Fox and Green Fox to the outside world.
Mr. Wild Fox likes to get drunk, drunk and drunk, but he prefers to put it down, people from the mountain, as long as he mentions wine, he is his ancestor, whether he seeks medical treatment or asks divination, it will be solved in three or two clicks, and there are indeed some medicines to eliminate the means of disease. As for its divination skills, the princes and scholars of the Three Kingdoms of Yan, Jin, and Zhongshan often laughed and did not know its deep meaning when they mentioned it.
However, within a radius of hundreds of miles, the worship of Mr. Wild Fox is real, and some people even inquire and speculate that Mr. Wild Fox may be out of wine recently, so some good people brought a jar of sake, stewed fat chicken, looked for Wild Fox Ridge, and talked with the fairy wind and bones all night, often seemed to have gains.
However, the green fox often scoffs at the divination skills of his grandfather Mr. Wild Fox, and looks at the posture, if it weren't for Mr. Wild Fox's ability to cheat him from time to time to get some wine, food, salt and cloth, he will definitely drive this fairy wind and pretentious grandfather off Wild Fox Ridge.
Mr. Wild Fox seemed to be a little afraid of the green fox, and when he heard the delicate and crisp reprimand, he would immediately smile all over his face, for fear of angering his granddaughter.
On this day, the sun was shining, and the only yellow mud trail in Yehuling came up to the two.
A young man, pale, dressed in a white linen robe, swayed and loose, smirking at the face of the demon fox in the grass from time to time. One is a middle-aged man with a black face, dressed in a sheepskin robe, with a straight face, and he is quite disgusted with those bewitching stunners.
"Grandpa, look at the two people who went up the mountain, do they have oil and water?" The green fox squatted on the edge of a bush of wild flowers, stretched out his fingers to tease the delicate petals, and said with a smile while looking at the two people on the path at the foot of the mountain.
"Ahem, Qinghu, don't be so rude, okay, the old man is also a mountain hermit with a bit of a cheap name in the Three Kingdoms of Yanjin and Zhongshan." Mr. Wild Fox reclined on a rattan bed, pinching a bronze wine bowl that had been empty for a long time, and there were really some fairy bones.
"Grandpa, it's not me talking about you, every time you stop drinking for three days, you move out of your broken rattan bed and watch in front of the door day and night, you are not ashamed!" The green fox said without replying, making Mr. Wild Fox's face turn red and white, and he opened his mouth for a long time, and he couldn't say a word to refute it.
"Qinghu, grandpa is so old, you have to have some minimum respect. Who made me eat more salt than you chewed millet? Mr. Wild Fox shook his head and sighed, almost feeling that people's hearts are not ancient and the world is chaotic.
"Being old can only mean that you have been cheating, eating and drinking for a long time." The green fox seemed a little annoyed, and with one finger he flicked off a pink petal, leaving it to drift into the mud, never to be found again.
"Ahem...... Qinghu, grandpa is so bad......" Mr. Yehu reached out and touched a handful of his thin beard, and was about to continue, but was turned around by Qinghu and glared at him fiercely, so he immediately shut up.
"You brag in front of others, I don't care, that's your ability. But when you and I are alone, grandpa, don't brag and be shameless, okay! "The little face of the green fox is white and pure, handsome and pretty, and it is really similar to the face of the demon fox in the grass.
Mr. Wild Fox looked embarrassed, pinched an empty wine bowl, ignored the green fox, and stared at the two people walking up the yellow mud path with two eyes. In his impression, in the past few decades, all the people of Ueno Fox Ridge have never had the custom of coming empty-handed.
When he was used to seeing others looking for him with wine and meat, he naturally took it for granted, so he developed a habit of greeting people with a smile.
It's just that this time, his face slowly became ugly, and he even became a little annoyed.
Because, those two people actually came empty-handed!
Damn, Ueno Fox Ridge, empty-handed counts a few meanings!
"Green fox, let the dog go, bite people, grandpa is in a bad mood today, and he doesn't see guests." Mr. Wild Fox leaped up from the rattan bed, grimaced face, and turned into the hut.
There is really a dog on the Wild Fox Ridge, it is an old dog that is much thinner than Mr. Wild Fox, and the gray hair on the whole body has fallen off several large pieces, revealing the dirty dog skin, but it has a good name: Roaring Sky.
The skinny dog Howling never takes the initiative to bite, and even doesn't bother to open his eyes to those miscellaneous people who come and go and are deceived by Mr. Wild Fox to eat and drink. Most of the time, it is lazily lying on the base of the wall and basking in the sun, spring, summer, autumn and winter, all year round.
"Howling, go bite those two dog butts!" Mr. Wild Fox entered the hut, and seemed to be a little angry, and roared.
The thin dog opened his eyes lazily, looked in the direction of the hut, and then looked at the green fox who was looking towards the mountainside, turned his head and saw two people walking up slowly, and then slowly got up.
It shook the fur off its body, raising a puff of loess dust, which made the green fox frown and turn its face to glance at it fiercely.
The skinny dog seemed to be startled, and quickly retracted, a bare tail between his hind legs, and ran towards the two people on the yellow mud path with a cloud of smoke.
Those who are swaying on the wild fox ridge are Guo Yang and Anu.
"Young master, this Wild Fox Ridge is a little weird." Anu looked at the grass around him and said with a frown.
"Hehe, isn't it just a little demonic. I think it's good. Guo Yang said with a smile.
"I heard that this Mr. Wild Fox has excellent medical skills, and he can also use divination, and he is a famous person in the land of Yanjin north of the Yellow River." Anu glanced at the two or three lonely huts on the top of the mountain and said.
"This is secondary, mainly because I heard that the old man was like us, and he was drunk and drunk, so I started to make friends." Guo Yang also glanced at the top of the mountain, but saw a leper dog running down the yellow mud path with bared teeth.
"Young master, don't think I don't know your mind. This Wild Fox Ridge is fifty miles away from the wolf's mouth, and the mountain seems to be unremarkable, but it hides a mystery, and it has become a forbidden place for those bandits. I guess you're curious. Anu glanced at the skinny dog and said with a frown.
"This skinny dog is interesting." Guo Yang was noncommittal to Anu's words, but turned his attention to the thin dog, which made Anu a little depressed.
However, the thin dog was really interesting, and walked down loosely all the way, and the pheasants, hares, and wild foxes in the grass actually lay in the grass as if they had encountered natural enemies, and they did not dare to come out, and their hair stood on end, and they trembled.
"What is this?" Anu didn't care about the skinny dog before, but now he stared at it and looked surprised.
"Hey, interesting. Dogs are interesting, and owners are certainly more interesting. Guo Yang looked at the skinny dog and said with a smile.
When the skinny dog roared to more than a hundred steps in front of Guo Yang and Anu, he suddenly stopped and began to hesitate.
Originally, it wanted to pounce on the butts of the two and bite them directly, and, with bared teeth, drove the two bastards off the wild fox. As a result, before it could get closer, it felt a dangerous aura.
The thin dog squinted his two dog eyes, looked at Guo Yang, looked at Anu, and then turned his eyes to Guo Yang.
This person has a few faint gray lines on his eyebrows, if it weren't for the sharp eyes of the thin dog Howling, he really wouldn't have found it.
Those dangerous aura, it was from those gray lines, although it was very faint, but it made it shudder, and it couldn't help but stir its spirits.
The skinny dog snorted, shaking the fur on his body vigorously, raising a puff of dust, mixed with a lot of gray-white dog hair.
"Hey, skinny dog, come here, I'll take a look." Guo Yang smiled gently and walked forward.
"Wang!" The thin dog barked lowly, seemingly a little dissatisfied, but a little helpless.
It wanted to turn away, but Mr. Wild Fox's order was to bite the butts of these two men, and its mission was not yet complete. However, if it really wants to pounce and bite, it is a little daring.
The thin dog Roaring Tian hesitated for a while, and when he saw that Guo Yang and Anu were about to come to him, he turned around and ran, several times faster than when he came.
"This skinny dog is interesting." Guo Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, watching the thin dog run all the way up to the Wild Fox Ridge, and was so shocked that those demon foxes hurriedly hid their faces in the grass.
"It's really interesting, it seems to have opened a part of the wisdom, so it became a dog." Anu couldn't help but laugh as he watched the cowardly dog slip away.
The thin dog ran up to the Wild Fox Ridge with a smoke, barked at the green fox three times, and babbled a few times at Mr. Wild Fox in the thatched hut, walked straight to the corner of the wall, and began to pretend to be asleep.
"Hey, these two people are a bit of a ghost, so they don't dare to bite it." Inside the hut, Mr. Wild Fox was slightly surprised, but he still didn't go out.
"There are some doorways. Hey, Mr. Wild Fox, divination. The green fox stood up from the ground, and his childish little face was slightly surprised, and he looked at Guo Yang and Anu halfway up the mountain in surprise.
"You...... Didn't you never believe it! Mr. Wild Fox said angrily.
"Just believe you this time, give you a chance, otherwise, if anyone comes to seek medical advice in the future, I will be killed." Qinghu gritted his teeth and said.
"You! Okay, okay, just this once, if I'm right, I'm not allowed to sneer at my guests in the future, let alone kick their butts again! Moreover, it is not allowed to sneer at me when I perform supreme medical skills and divination, and I am not allowed to ...... "Mr. Wild Fox finally seized an opportunity to turn over, where is he willing to let go, sitting in the hut and starting to threaten his granddaughter with his mouth wide open."
"Don't make me count to three, or don't count it at all!" Qinghu frowned and said, and counted "one" casually.
"Don't don't, don't, I'll count, I'm not good." Mr. Wild Fox panicked, walked out of the hut quickly, half-squinted, and glanced at Guo Yang and Anu.
"How?" Qinghu asked.
"Wait...... Something seems wrong...... Odd...... Seem...... Could it be ......" Mr. Wild Fox frowned, as if lost in thought.
"Messy, do you know how to do divination?" The green fox was impatient, stomped his little feet, and asked with a wrinkled nose.
"Wait, don't bother Grandpa." Mr. Wild Fox looked at Guo Yang and Anu who were still halfway up the mountain for a moment, and suddenly shook his head.
"Alas, it can't be counted. You greet these two masters, and you say that grandpa is sick, very sick...... By the way, you just said that my Mr. Wild Fox is critically ill and is dying, and you have to go down the mountain to find Langzhong. Mr. Wild Fox spoke incoherently, and went into the hut with a puff of smoke, and never showed his head again.
"Grandpa!" The green fox was stunned for a moment, stomped his feet and shouted.
Mr. Wild Fox has always been light and calm, fairy wind bones, a pretense of a master in the world, today looking at the two of them on the mountainside from a distance, and shamelessly pretending to be sick and not daring to meet, this seems to be the first time in the impression of the green fox.
"Grandpa, are you all over? Tell me, who are they, good or bad? If it's the bad guys, I'll let the Roaring Sky bite them to death! The green fox turned back to the hut and said.
"Don't don't, just fool around a few words, and just send it away. They're not good or bad, but don't mess with them. I'm sick. Mr. Wild Fox jumped on the wooden couch, pulled over a torn sheepskin and wrapped his face, and let the green fox threaten again and again, but he simply kept silent.
"Nasty!" The green fox sighed, and had to wait for the two people to slowly walk up to the Wild Fox Ridge.
